Healthy Wealthy and Wise 1995

Brown's Mart Theatre, Darwin

From bedpans and false teeth to gardening and cardio moves, HEALTHY WEALTHY AND WISE followed the extraordinary adventures of the Grey Panthers. Through song and dance and a good dose of laughter, these matriarchs took us on a journey that evoked the humour, courage and beauty of women living in their later years.

The women shared their wisdom and experience and their willingness to go on learning as they help keep the trees of life blossoming. Old age is not just about wearing purple, knitting, and false teeth. These radical grandmothers challenged us to live our lives to the fullest. Powerful, entertaining, witty and poignant.
